    CHAPTER 5 BASIC POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE SENA CORRIDOR Project for the Study on Development of the Sena Corridor Final Report Chapter 5 Basic Policy for Development of the Sena Corridor Chapter 5 Basic Policy for Development of the Sena Corridor 5.1 Significance of Development of the Sena Corridor 5.1.1 Historical Background Table 5-1 and Figure 5-1 show the historical background of Malawi’s transport network. The major transitions of the transport network are as follows. a) Before 1970: The Sena Corridor was the major gateway to Malawi • The branch line of the Sena Railway was the main transport mode, supplemented by the Shire–Zambezi inland waterway transport. • Export and import goods were mainly transported by railway due to cheaper transport cost. b) 1970–1983: The Sena Corridor and Nacala Railway were the major gateways to Malawi • The branch line of the Sena and the Nacala Railway were the main transport modes even after civil war broke out in Mozambique. • Inland waterway transport lost its function. c) 1983–1992: Malawi suffered greatly from loss of access to ports in Mozambique • Due to the civil war, all transport links through Mozambique were cut. • Most of the cargoes between Malawi and RSA were transported via Zambia and Zimbabwe, incurring much longer transport times and higher costs.

COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. No. 1162. NYASALAND. ANNUAL GENERAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1922.* GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL. BOUNDARIES. The territory comprised in the Nyasaland Protectorate is a strip about 520 miles in length and varying from 50 to 100 miles in width. It lies approximately between latitude S. 9° 45', and 17° 16', and longitude E. 33° and 36°. The area is roughly 40,000 square miles, or about one-third the area of the British Ioles. The most southerly portion of the Protectorate is about 130 miles from the sea as the crow flies. This strip falls naturally into two divisions: (1) consisting of the western shore of Lake Nyasa, with the high tablelands separating it from the basin of the Loangwa river in Northern Rhodesia, and (2) the region lying between the watershed of the Zambesi river and Shire river on the west, and the Lakes Chiuta and Chilwa and the river Ruo, an affluent of the Shire, on the east, including the mountain systems of the Shire Highlands and Mlanje, and a small portion, also mountainous, of the south-eastern coast of Lake Nyasa.

  • Transport Guide by Road Buses Are the Cheapest Mode of Transport In
    Getting Around Mozambique: Transport Guide by newsdesk By Road Buses are the cheapest mode of transport in Mozambique but regular services only operate between major towns where roads are in motorable condition. In rural areas, people negotiate rides and fares on converted passenger trucks (chapa-cems) or regular trucks (camions). On the services that do operate, carry food and water as the stops are literally few and far between. Foreigners should also ensure all their travel documents are in order and must carry them on their person as the authorities conduct regular and strict checks for documentation. Cabs are rarely available outside the main cities but there are plenty of car rental firms happy to hire vehicles to foreigners who pay in hard currency. For those planning to drive themselves, insist on hiring a sturdy 4WD and check its roadworthiness. An International Driving Permit is necessary, traffic drives on the left of the road and insurance is recommended. There is a fairly extensive network of gas stations along the major routes though not in the reserves and game parks. Driving after dark outside of the cities can be dangerous as car hijackings and highway robberies are commonplace. Stray cattle and vehicles without headlamps are the other hazard on country roads, which are anyway, poorly maintained. The bus service in the capital, Maputo is better than most and actually covers a large amount of territory. The long-distance bus depot is on Avenida 24 de Julho just beyond Praca 16 de Junho in Maputo. In all the cities, taxis are metered and drivers still expect to be tipped.

    2 High Potential in the Lower Zambezi A way forward to sustainable development Version 1.0 High Potential in the Lower Zambezi High Potential in the Lower Zambezi A way forward to sustainable development Delta Alliance Delta Alliance is an international knowledge network with the mission of improving the resilience of the world’s deltas, by bringing together people who live and work in the deltas. Delta Alliance has currently ten network Wings worldwide where activities are focused. Delta Alliance is exploring the possibility to connect the Zambezi Delta to this network and to establish a network Wing in Mozambique. WWF WWF is a worldwide organization with the mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. WWF recently launched (June 2010) the World Estuary Alliance (WEA). WEA focuses on knowledge exchange and information sharing on the value of healthy estuaries and maximiza- tion of the potential and benefits of ‘natural systems’ in sustainable estuary development. In Mozambique WWF works amongst others in the Zambezi Basin and Delta on environmental flows and mangrove conservation. Frank Dekker (Delta Alliance) Wim van Driel (Delta Alliance) From 28 August to 2 September 2011, WWF and Delta Alliance have organized a joint mission to the Lower Zambezi Basin and Delta, in order to contribute to the sustainable development, knowing that large developments are just emerging. Bart Geenen (WWF) The delegation of this mission consisted of Companies (DHV and Royal Haskoning), NGOs (WWF), Knowledge Institutes (Wageningen University, Deltares, Alterra, and Eduardo Mondlane University) and Government Institutes (ARA Zambeze).

Background To The Review 2001 The Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) was launched as a joint initiative of the World Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) to improve transport sector performance by promoting policy reforms and institutional changes. The basic premises of the Program are that: (i) policy reform is essential to obtain improved transport services; and (ii) countries and their development partners need to collaborate within the common framework of policies in the sector. The program has over the last twelve years evolved into a flexible tool for the development of such a framework. SSATP is a broad collaborative effort of national development aid agencies, international agencies (UNDP, ILO and UNCTAD), and African institutions (i.e. UAR, MINCONMAR, PTA), with the World Bank and the ECA acting as the Executing Agencies.

  • Riversdale's Zambezi River Barging Project
    Riversdale’sRiversdale’s Zambezi Zambezi River River BargingBarging Project, Project, Zambezi Zambezi River, River, MozambiqueMozambique FinalEnvironmental Environmental and andSocial Social Impact Impact AssessmentAssessment Report Report August 2011 Delivering sustainable solutions in a more competitive world NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY INTRODUCTION An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been compiled for the proposed Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, on behalf of Riversdale Mozambique Limitada (hereafter referred to as RML). RML is a 65%-owned subsidiary of Riversdale Mining Limited, a mining company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, with operations in South Africa and Mozambique. The other 35% of RML is owned by Tata Steel, a major Indian steel producer. An ESIA is a systematic process that predicts and evaluates the potential impacts a proposed project may have on aspects of the physical, biological, socio-economic and human environment as determined by specialist studies and analyses of the specific environment. Mitigation measures, as set out in the approved environmental management plan, are then developed and incorporated into the Project execution plan to eliminate, minimise or reduce adverse impacts and, where practicable, to enhance benefits. RML have appointed Environmental Resources Management Southern Africa Pty Ltd (ERM) in partnership with Impacto Associados Lda (Impacto) as the independent consultants to undertake the ESIA for the Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, the main results of which are presented in this non-technical summary. EIA Process The ESIA process followed was designed to comply with the relevant Mozambican environmental legislation. Accordingly, the ESIA process comprised of a number of key steps, namely: • Project Registration • EPDA Phase (also known as Scoping Phase, and culminating in an EPDA Report) • Specialist Studies • Impact Assessment Phase (culminating in an ESIA Report).
